Rift S "Sensors can't track headset"

I've recently switched to a new computer, and after installing the Meta Horizon Link app I am unable to get my Rift S headset through the initial setup process.

The app recognizes my headset, shows a green check-mark on the connection status, and the display inside the headset turns on and shows three dots in the center. Attempting to go through the device setup, the second step tells me "Sensors can't track headset" and I cannot progress further. If I skip setup the headset still only shows the three dots.

I have tried using multiple USB ports and multiple display ports. I have made sure the environment is well lit and suitable for VR use. I have made sure the cable is securely plugged into the headset. I have reinstalled the app, making sure to clear all existing files out of appdata and program files. I have reinstalled the device drivers. I have restarted Windows many times and made sure it is up to date. I have made sure the privacy settings in Windows are set correctly.

I am also unable to contact support because the form is not recognizing the ID from my Rift S headset I have been using through the desktop app for multiple years.

  • Make sure windows privacy in the control panel is set to allow cameras and microphones. Also turn off USB power saving options.
